Dear Colleagues:

Congratulations to ODG list-members ohn C.P. Goldberg and Benjamin C. Zipursky on the recent publication of their book The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law, Torts (2010, OUP). From the description:

Torts--personal injury law--is a fundamental yet controversial part of our legal system. The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law: Torts provides a clear and comprehensive account of what tort law is, how it works, what it stands to accomplish, and why it is now much-disputed. Goldberg and Zipursky--two of the world's most prominent tort scholars--carefully analyze leading judicial decisions and prominent tort-related legislation, and place each event into its proper context. Topics covered include products liability, negligence, medical malpractice, intentional torts, defamation and privacy torts, punitive damages, and tort reform.

Features

• Presents tort law in a clear and thematic way that takes fundamental concepts seriously
• An indispensable supplement to casebook and other class materials for students studying law
• Provides an overview of the major developments in tort reform and a framework in which these efforts can be better evaluated

Happy Reading,

--
